i had a bad squeal also from my waterpump to fan clearance and had to refine the waterpump housing a tad.

don't over tighten the belt it needs some deflection, it can wear on the bearing

also thought i would mention this since you said your running an alternator there are reports of whine when using a cog belt (w/alt). do a search alternator whine and you can read many posts on it...
